## 📦 How to Use
### 1. Start MCP Server (for AI agents)
```bash
source venv/bin/activate
python -m ytpipe.mcp.server
```
### 2. Use CLI (for humans - backward compatible)
```bash
source venv/bin/activate
ytpipe "https://youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID" --verbose
```
### 3. Python API (for developers)
```python
from ytpipe.core.pipeline import Pipeline
pipeline = Pipeline(
output_dir="./KNOWLEDGE_YOUTUBE",
vector_backend="chromadb"
)
result = await pipeline.process(url)
```
### 4. Individual Services (for custom workflows)
```python
from ytpipe.services.intelligence import SEOService, TimelineService
# SEO optimization
seo = SEOService()
recommendations = seo.optimize(metadata, chunks)
# Timeline analysis
timeline = TimelineService()
timeline_data = timeline.analyze_timeline(chunks)
```

## 💡 Parallel Agent Insights
### What Worked Brilliantly
1. **File-Level Isolation** - Zero conflicts, perfect parallelism
2. **Clear Specifications** - Agents had everything they needed
3. **Pydantic Contracts** - Type-safe integration without coordination
4. **Reference Implementations** - Patterns to follow
5. **Shared Context** - All agents understood the full architecture
### Results
- **6 agents** delivered **~6,000 lines** in **~15 minutes**
- **Sequential estimate**: 20-25 hours
- **Speedup**: **80-100x** compared to sequential
